Al Waqf And Ibtidaa part 3

The stop and the start (Al-Waqf wa Al-Ibtidaa’) part-3 الوقف والابتداء الجزء الثالث

See: Part 1 Part 2 part 4

The Optional Stop (الوقف الاختيارى)

The optional stop is divided into four categories:

1-The inclusive, complete waqf (وقف تام)

2-The sufficient, permissible waqf (وقف كافى)

3-The reliable, accepted waqf (وقف حسن)

4-The undesired, detested waqf (وقف قبيح)

3-The reliable, accepted waqf (وقف حسن)

The accepted, permissible waqf is that which is made on such a place where there is a connection between the sentences, before and after, both in word and meaning. However there is no corruption in the meaning.

Just as the other stops. It is called “hasan” or good due to the fact that stopping on it leads to understanding of a meaning.

⇒ The rule for the good stop: it is allowed to stop on it, but not allowed to start on what follows it due to its attachment to what follows grammatically and in meaning, except on the end of an Ayah. Stopping on the end of an Ayah is Sunnah.⇐

Examples;

Examples;

-You can stop on the word هللا as the meaning in itself is fully understood

In the name of Allah – بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ

The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. – الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

-But you cant start with what comes next due to its attachment to what follows grammatically and in meaning .

4-The undesired, detested waqf (وقف قبيح)

It is the stop on what does not give a correct meaning, and that is due to its strong attachment to what follows in grammar, and in meaning.

⇒ The rule for the repulsive stop: This stop not allowed intentionally. It is only allowed when compelled in such as a situation as unexpected shortness of breath, sneezing, or forgetting ⇐

After the state that compelled the stop has past, the reader then must repeat one, two, or more words, as necessary to convey the correct and sound meaning.

Examples;

Stopping on بِسْمِ From بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ

Stopping on الْحَمْدُ From الْحَمْدُ لِلَّه

إِنَّمَا يَسْتَجِيبُ الَّذِينَ يَسْمَعُونَ وَالْمَوْتَى يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ

Stopping on وَالْمَوْتَى Only those can accept who hear as for the dead . (6:36)

Al Waqf And Ibtidaa part 2

The stop and the start (Al-Waqf wa Al-Ibtidaa’) part-2 الوقف والابتداء الجزء الثانى

See: Part 1 Part 3 part 4

The Optional Stop (الوقف الاختيارى)

The optional stop is divided into four categories:

1-The inclusive, complete waqf (وقف تام)

2-The sufficient, permissible waqf (وقف كافى)

3-The reliable, accepted waqf (وقف حسن)

4-The undesired, detested waqf (وقف قبيح)

1-The inclusive, complete waqf (وقف تام)

There is no connection either in word or meaning between the sentence before with the one appearing after it.

or It is the stop on a Qur’anic word complete in meaning and not attached to what follows it in grammatical expression or in meaning.

This waqf is generally made at the end of an Ayat, narratives, and incidences.

⇒ The rule for the complete stop: It is best to stop on the word that is a completestop, and then start on what follows it ⇐

Examples;

To make waqf on (5 وَأُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ [سورة البقرة in Surah Baqarah, Those are upon [right] guidance from their Lord, and it is those who are the successful

Then start

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنذِرْهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ (6) – Indeed, those who disbelieve – it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them – they will not believe.

Examples:

وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ (29) وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً

The compulsory (required) stop
Known in the Mushaf by the small Meem sign مـ ,shows that there is a must to stop , not stopping on this word could change the intended meaning of Allahs words.

Meaning:

Only those can accept who hear. As for the dead, Allah will raise them up; then unto Him they will be returned .

2-The sufficient, permissible waqf (وقف كافى)

The sufficient waqf is that waqf in which there is connection between the previous ayat with the one appearing after it in meaning only and not in word – but not in grammar .

This waqf generally takes place on ayat’s and symbols of waqf.

⇒ Its rule: It is advisable to stop on it and start with that which follows, just as in the complete stop ⇐

Examples:

stop on – (6) إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَأَنْذَرْتَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تُنْذِرْهُمْ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Indeed, those who disbelieve – it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them – they will not believe.

Then start – خَتَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَعَلَىٰ سَمْعِهِمْ ۖ وَعَلَىٰ أَبْصَارِهِمْ غِشَاوَةٌ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (7)

Examples:

stop on – فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا

In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease;

Then start – وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ (10)

And for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie.

Al Waqf And Ibtidaa part 1

The stop and the start (Al-Waqf wa Al-Ibtidaa’) part-1 الوقف والابتداء الجزء الاول

See: Part 2 Part 3 Part 4

introduction:

One of the most important areas in the science of Tajweed is knowledge of how to stop and begin recitation.
The understanding of Allah‟s words can‟t be appreciated ,nor correct understanding achieved without this knowledge.

Ibn Omar radia Allahu Anhu said:

“We spent a particular time when Iman (faith) would come to a person before Al-Qur’an and before a Soorah was revealed to the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him), then we learned the halal and haram as well as the do’s and don’ts and what is suggested to be learnt/notified from it”.

Translation: To read the letters correctly (with Tajweed) and to recognize the places of pausing.

Meaning of Waqf:

The definition of waqf is to pause in such a manner that the breath and voice terminates; thereafter to take in a new breath and also to have the intention of reading forward.

1- Al-Waqf (The stop).

2- Al-Ibtidaa’ (The start).

We are Quran academy , have Qualified teachers, Book free trial class now , Here.

Al-Waqf (The stop)

There are three divisions There are three divisions :

A-The Compelled Stop (الوقف الاضظرارى)

B-The Optional Stop (الوقف الاختيارى)

C– The Test Stop (الوقف الاختبارى)

A-The Compelled Stop (الوقف الاضظرارى)

This is what happens when the reader has a compelling reason for stopping such as shortness of breath, sneezing, coughing, disability, forgetfulness, and whatever is similar to these causes.

In these cases it is allowed to stop on the end of the word the reciter was at, even if the meaning is not complete.

After the compelling state has passed, the reader then starts with the word stopped on, and then joins it with what follows if it is a sound beginning; if not, the reader then should start back
one or two or more words, until they can start with what is sound for a beginning.

B-The Optional Stop (الوقف الاختيارى)

This is what was intended by the reciter by his own choice, without any outside reasons. This is the category of stopping that will be discussed in details , needs to be studied and applied in the correct way.

The optional stop is divided into four categories:

1-The inclusive, complete waqf (وقف تام)

2-The sufficient, permissible waqf (وقف كافى)

3-The reliable, accepted waqf (وقف حسن)

4-The undesired, detested waqf (وقف قبيح)

C– The Test Stop (الوقف الاختبارى)

This is what is required of the student when being examined or taught by a teacher .The teacher may stop the student and correct him in a letter, in reading, in tajweed, or anything else that they feel needs correcting. The student stops when instructed to, and attempts to correct the mistake
